There was a tanker delivering KY Jelly to St Mary's earlier on. That should make things go smoother.

That is a real possibility of course: early investment, some exciting Tino-style deals, then a late JWP sale to cover the outlay. We just don't know, and won't until it happens. Hopefully my original scenario is closer to the mark! Whatever: I think we'll have a very different squad next year.

SR want to do the "buy top, young prospects, play them, sell at a big profit, rinse and repeat" model. That's pretty much a known I think. I hope, hope, hope that they've got some ££ to kick off the process. Surely that would be part of the business plan? An outlay £50-£70m now should generate £100-£130m in the next few years, if they're as smart as they're meant to be. Meaning a summer where we get rid of dross, without having to sell our best to reinvest. Or am I being too optimistic?

So frustrating. I like RH and he has delivered some great performances. He's got an average to shit squad, and little opportunity to invest. He's got a patched together coaching team: really, how many of our first team coaches would get jobs at other EPL clubs? So he's not got an ideal base for success. Its a real shame. But he's also seemingly stubborn, makes some woeful team selections and tactical decisions, and simply can't influence things 'in game'. And there's just too many truly awful performances. I remain, just, only just, on the 'RH in' bandwagon. Let's freshen up the squad, get him a new coaching team and go again next season. Something needs to change. That said: I wouldn't shed a tear if he left or was fired.

Fuck me. Sideshow Bob is coming on.

Fans chanting 'you don't know what you're doing' at that substitution.

Turd.

Staggering that we haven't made another change yet.

Sharp finish from AA. Just offside.

Like that team. We've brought in more pace, and greater running from midfield in the shape of Diallo. Hoping he and AA can deliver a performance. And the youngster on the bench: love to see that.

Eh?

Impressive. But he's no Iain Dowie.

This. Really hoping to see some new blood come in this summer.

Wonder if Pep will call it a day at City? (Or get fired).

Yep. Some very dodgy decisions.

Remember that every true football fan wants them to win it. They're the bestestest.

I was thinking the same! Imagine the SWF backlash if RH oversaw a performance like this.

Penalty Madrid!

I want extra time (and another few glasses of red).

What an ending! Fantastic.

Strange to see it like that.

Is there reduced capacity for Real Madrid? What's with the netting over the seats?

Turd. The bestestest team have scored. Which is obviously great for world football.

Is it unpatriotic that I want England's bestest ever team to lose to Johnny Foreigner tonight?

How is that a question? Has RH been sacked?
